The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

On Feb. 20 ,2001, a young girl named Tempest Smith took her own life in Lincoln Park,Michigan,USA. Her suicide was caused by the taunting of other students at her middle school who mocked her for being "diffrent" and for being Wiccan. Things like this happen everyday, and It's a travesty.People who would never mock someone for their race or gender or secual orentation will make fun of someone for thier religious beliefs and it has to stop.

So I make this pledge and ask that you all do the same.Blessed Be.



The Pledge



I remember Tempest Smith.

I remember that it's never right to make fun of someone's beliefs.

I remember that sticks and stones can break my bones,but names are words of power that can wound the soul.

I remember that many mocked- and one died.



I remember Tempest Smith.

I remember that it takes all types to make a world.

I remember that nature likes biodiversity.This is true of beliefs and ideas as well.

I remember that I make a better witness to my own beliefs by simply living them,not belittling others



I remember Tempest Smith.

And I remember that another person's belief or nonbeilief is just as sincerly held as my own.

I remember to have the courage to say "hey,that's not right."when I see someone being ridiculed.

And the next time I am tempted to go along with the crowd and tease someone who is "diffrent",I will remember Tempest Smith,and I will remember my pledge.

Because what is remembered lives.



I pledge my word and my honor to accept that another's belief,or nonbelief,is just as sincerly held as my own.



I pledge that when I see prejudice based on religion ,be it on a playground or whispered in a board meeting, I will stand and say"no, this is wrong".



I pledge that to the best of my ability, I will respect practitioners of other spiritual paths and treat them with kindness and courtesy.





Thank you

Well another day has come and gone, another night passed in utter boredom.I hate being an insomniac, I never get enough sleep. I guess it's partly due to lonliness. I mean I have friends and I'm never actually completly alone but I mean alone as in being single, not being with anyone. This past week was interesting. Tuesday Tara took me out to Rev's for kareoke and drink and sink, as an early birthday present. I got drunk off my ass - yay for tequila sunrises lol.Some preppy guy thought I was easy game and started hitting on me hard. I'm not gonna say I wasn't tempted when he bit me on the neck ,thats actually a slight weakness if mine, but he asked for my number and I still gave him the rejection hotline. It's been 6 months and I'm still going strong. I refuse to be just a peice of ass .I'm sorry but it's not happening that way.Anyways, I was so drunk I actually danced in the cage - me wearing leather pants and a halter top dancing like a demon in a cage. WOW, never thought that would happen. Friday was my birthday, it went better than I thought it would, I hung out with John thursday night and he was with me when it hit midnight so he was with me at the beginning of my bday.However they sent him into the feild so I didn't get to see him friday night,but it'll be ok ,it's not like we are together ,right now we are just hanging out getting to know one another.Anyway My Mom and sister and spencer and micheal came up and took me and tara and mikey out to dinner for my birthday and then Snook suprised me. He called me and said to get ready he was on his way to get me . So I changed into the black dress and Snook and Joey took me to River Street for my bday.And Joey tried to get me drunk bc it was my bday. " It's a tradition to get plastered on your bday" says he. What's funny is that I had more to drink than he did( even my mom bought me a drink at dinner) and He ended up drunk and sick from it. After Snook and I got joey to his room, We came back to Tara's and went to sleep. Even though we are just friends it was nice to be held for once and I dropped right off to sleep.Saterday we took turns playing castlevania on the ps2 and watching movies then sat night me snook and Toby took me to Savannah again for my bday lol.We kept the night short though and snok spent the night again. I'm really glad that I have male friends I can trust. being single is the biggest factor of my insomnia I believe.I spent sunday just relaxing.I will admit I've been a bit depressed here lately, I'm so sick of being alone.But I'm also sick of guys thinking that I'm willing to just be a peice of ass or a one night stnd bc I am so not that fucking easy.I'm tired of stupid ppl too. We won't go into that one just yet though, I'm going to create and entry called the dee dee dee wall of shame for that. Well I have a coven meeting tonight and I'm kinda still sleepy so, more later
